Firstly I am a father and a loving partner, then I am an Author, Writer, Personal Development Speaker, Personal Success Mentor and Sales Trainer. I am blessed to have access to some of the greatest minds, and best information on the planet in my field. I have an ability to transfer this knowledge and information in an easy to understand, almost simple fashion. A great teacher is someone who, not only passes on knowledge, but assists and guides his or her students in applying that knowledge.
I think that accountability is the key. If I can suggest anything it is, if you say that you can do something...Do It!! If you think that you are unable to do something or just don’t feel like doing it...Don’t offer to do it!! This even more so goes for the things you say to yourself. Be accountable for what you say and what you do. Your words create your world, be responsible and accountable for what you say.
My simple system is one that is functioned almost conversationally. My clients gain the ability of learning through conversation. A coach believes in the greatness of the individual and creates a relationship which enables each person to discover their own uniqueness. Somewhat like the days of old, where educators sifted through the mists of time to tell tales which not only entertained but taught at the same time.
I tend to blend stories of my own with tales of clients, friends and others when explaining any point of my knowledge on the power of the mind, Universal Law, understanding Fear and how to deal with it, dismissing procrastination, accountability and responsibility, just to name few points of my areas of understanding. A good coach/mentor knows when it is time to push, time to be compassionate...even time to hang up the phone. I am not in this to make friends, although I inevitably do so (over time).
Friendship comes through results; I believe that assisting people to achieve greatness is more than enough reason for friendship. It is via the experiences encountered throughout the journey that gets us to where we want to go; friendship is gained as a result. You don’t need to like me to learn from me.
I’m not afraid to take things to the next level in whatever it is that his clients are working on. My ‘straight up’, ‘direct’ attitude and way of handling hurdles is fortunately, somewhat contagious. I treat Fear as a friend, instead of something that is to be dismissed. By accepting Fear instead of trying to avoid it, I have found a means of not focusing on it.
Fear is a natural reaction to the unknown. It is a guide that tells us to take precautions and to look before we leap. That is why, once we attain that which we were seeking, we are no longer in requirement of Fear and thus are no longer guided by it. By accepting Fear as a friend we no longer find ourselves focussing on eliminating it, which is a negative forceful act that draws more Fear to us. Thus, we enable ourselves to focus on the results we seek instead of the Fear that is stopping us.
It is said that the word team is an acronym for Together Everyone Achieves More. Never is this truer than when using the services of a mentor. Integrity is of paramount importance.
What this world currently does not have enough of is awareness. If people could look into the communities based on the notion of community, they would see the results of team work at play in general life. The Jewish Community, the Chinese Community, the Japanese Community... the list goes on and on. Together Everyone Achieves More, T.E.A.M. There is ALWAYS strength in numbers. Bodybuilders call them spotters, someone who supports you (more mentally than physically) to enable you lift greater weight. We are stronger than Me!
Within everyone is the innate ability to make change (positive or negative). The major challenge seems to be in accessing this ability. If you are struggling in any part of your life; financially, emotionally, spiritually or physically, opportunity exists to alter your situation. Mentors and Coaches can aid you in discovering the greatness that lies within you. They are skilled practitioners, teachers and coaches that empower their clients to manifest, grow and create.
If you are looking to explode your business, your relationships or your entire life in general, having a trusted guide to help keep you on track is a must!
Ian Thorpe, arguably one of the greatest Olympic Swimmers in history - Coached by Laurie Laurence. Andre Agasi, one of the greatest tennis players of all time was mentored by Anthony Robbins. Tiger Woods, #1 Golfer and highest paid professional athlete in the world is coached by Hank Haney. These are just a few of the greatest people in the world in their industry and their incredible abilities, whilst always inside them needed to be drawn out and coaxed into the foreground. We all hold greatness inside, mentors and coaches understand how to highlight this incredible power, and bring it out.
Thoughts are powerful, there is no denying this. However, thoughts without action are like a balloon without air. That’s just no fun at all!
